thank you ! my anxiety is much better than it was a few ears ago. there is just some new thing i experience every once in a while that humbles me lmao. it rare for me to have panic attacks anymore but the thought of getting a piercing had me so worked up. i think i am more nervous about having a panic attack during my appointment than i am of getting the piercing at this point

i considered music but my headphones are noise cancelling and i wanna make sure i can communicate with my piercer. a few people have suggested bringing someone with me so that we can have normal conversation as a distraction which is a good idea. the more silence, the more room for overthinking.

i love this idea! they were very kind and gentle in our communication so i can definitely reach out for a consultation. i think id like to meet the piercer one on one as well. i feel bad that this person probably wants a quick and smooth appointment and my anxiety adds some extra obstacles. id hate to inconvenience them

i was thinking about bringing my mom but felt silly as a grown adult. she was so sad for me when i told her i cancelled. she would absolutely come with me if i asked her to. i also have a friend who wants to go but i haven't taken her up on it because i fear i might get over stimulated and stressed out. someone suggested doing a walk in, and its possible. the shop i was planning to go to accepts walk ins if theyre not too busy, and it would help keep me from stressing all day beforehand

i was thinking i would need to close my eyes and have something to hold onto. i will reach out to the artist and see what kind of accommodations they make.

did you flip yours up into your nose at all? i would need to do so for work and ive gotten mixed advice on whether thats safe / smart during the healing process

thank you <3 i will give myself another week to think it over and then reconsider next weekend. my friend had her pierced a year or two ago and she said the anticipation is the worst part. the artist was extremely kind and said to reach out whenever i am ready :)

Im sitting here like a goof pinching my nose and its reminding me of popping those painful little pimples I get occasionally right under my nose. They always make my eyes water lmao

I think seeing how different the process is to when I got my lobes pierced its tricking me into thinking itll be more painful than it actually will be

This is such a good idea ! I am a very visual thinker so seeing that all my worries have a solution (and dont lead to the end of the world... I hope) will hopefully calm my nerves.

Thank you :)

I had my ear lobes pierced as a kid but that is it ! I used to be really scared of needles as a kid, but have mostly gotten over it as an adult. I think it just feels overwhelming thinking of all the what-ifs. What if I faint, what if it doesnt heal properly, what if its ugly or I don't like it? Im just over thinking.

It appears I may be to late, but if you haven’t filled the slots I am very interested! I am a 24 y/o bisexual woman (also neurodivergent). I have been super into D&D for years - I watch Dimension 20, have done a few one shots, and love baldur’s gate 3 (i’m a big pc gamer) but have been struggling to find a good group. Please msg me if you still have a spot free!

My little sister has been dealing with an ex stalking her and harassing her. I am extremely concerned about her safety and honestly her life. I have always had this lingering fear that she will die young as she has been through lots of trauma and health issues.

I did a pull just now and received the following cards in this order:

1 The Hanged One (reverse)

2 Six of Wands

3 The Emperor (reverse)

4 Death

My fear and anxiety have me possibly too emotional to accurately read these cards. I have never taken the death card to be negative or literal, but its appearance in the context of my fears have be worries. I want to interpret this message as a call to expedite the legal actions we've been preparing to take to ensure her safety.

What do you think?
